    Fried pickles
    Sonal B.

    Chill place and perfect for pub food with some beer. Dark lounge-y vibe with music loud but not super loud. The Korean nachos were not as yum as the reviews said - so a bit disappointed. But the Brussels sprouts and pickle chips were amazing :) The one point missing was that we were at a booth - with no beer menu served and the server was not knowledgable about the draft beer offerings. So it was tough to pick. But the service was friendly - the Jenga at the table a great perk. Will go again.

    My friends and I were recently in Beacon for the day and ended our experience at The Vinyl Room. I loved the decor and the music, and it definitely has a fun vibe overall. It's pretty loud, but that's just because I'm old. The cocktails were tasty and well executed. We weren't very hungry but shared the mac and cheese and the Brussels sprouts. Both dishes were delicious and the portions were extremely generous. They did get very busy since it was a Saturday night, and there are only two single-occupancy bathrooms, so there was always a wait, but it wasn't a big deal. Overall, I would definitely stop in again the next time I'm in the area.

    The Vinyl Room is a bar, restaurant, record shop and arcade that opened in Wappingers Falls, New York in 2017. It was founded by John Kihlmire. On a trip to Colorado, Kihlmire visited a shop that featured an abundance of books and records. He came up with an idea to open a similar shop that would also feature craft beer. Kihlmire initially opened The Vinyl Room by himself in Wappingers Falls. In addition to beer, records, and video games, customers could also enjoy pizza by ordering it through a special window that connected to the Wagon Wheel next door. Although the concept was well-received, the small space and constraints from the landlord limited the full potential of the business. In July 2021, it moved to a new space at 344 Main Street in Beacon. Customers could order food from Roma Nova across the street. Unfortunately, the space was still too small and the owners received numerous noise complaints from apartment tenants upstairs. In August 2023, The Vinyl Room moved down the street to 393 Main Street to their third (and hopefully forever) location. For the latest version of the business, childhood friend Kane Licari came on board as a partner. This also marks the first time that The Vinyl Room features a kitchen with their own food. The menu features burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads, rice bowls, tacos, wings, and various bar bites. In addition to craft beer, the bar also serves wine, craft cocktails, and mocktails. I recently visited The Vinyl Room for lunch with my two sons while we were visiting Beacon. Any place that features craft beer, records, and classic arcade cabinets sounds like Heaven to someone like me. I really liked the whole vibe of the interior with the industrial design and all of the pop culture and music references. My sons and I grabbed a booth and looked over the menu. For food, I had the "Crunchy Chicken Bowl" (sushi rice, pickled onions, avocado, arugula, charred corn, chili garlic crunch, creamy garlic sauce), my older son had the "Grilled Cheese" (Vermont white cheddar, havarti, slow roasted onions, roasted garlic butter, sourdough), and my younger son had the "Return of The Mac" (smoked gouda Vermont cheddar cream, buttery breadcrumbs). We were all very happy with our choices! To drink, I had a draught pour of Upward Brewing's "Summer Camp" (Helles Lager). After finishing our delicious meal, I scrolled through the impressive record collection. Then we all headed downstairs to have a blast in the arcade. Before leaving, I enjoyed a pour of Equilibrium Brewery's "Tidal Balance" (Double IPA; collab w/ Sand City Brewing). We all had such a fun experience at The Vinyl Room and we hope to return in the future!

    A gem on Main Street! We were looking for a place to grab dinner before heading to the city that didn't have too many children around. There was a short wait on a busy Saturday night but it wasn't too bad. The cocktails were great, I had the one with topo Chico and my friend unfortunately ordered one with an ingredient she was allergic to. They promptly took it off the bill and were really nice about it. The nachos were tasty as were the fries. Music was great, ambiance was lively. I'll be back!

    Intriguing vinyl Knowledgeable service Just love the spot Beacon has a lot going for it, and TVR is a strong pawn in that overall game. A really suave vinyl selection up front, comfort and diversity of seating throughout, good beverage selection, food options for a variety of eaters, and just a really outstanding spot to pass some time independent of any previous variable. Bonus points for opening a bit early for the lunch crowd, and for mixing a decent number of kindred topics under one roof. It just works exceptionally well. Could be copied by others, but the fact that it absolutely excels here is all that really matters. Highest recommendation. Can't wait to be back next time, and again after that.

    Pretty cool place, definitely a party vibe with the DJ. Service was just ok, we could have had better communication. the nachos were kinda cold, but we had a fun night.

    Dumpling

    Stumbled on Vinyl Room looking for a spot post-hike to reward our bodies with delicious food and drinks. Vinyl captured us as it advertised both & a record store. The interior is one huge open space with a small section with a few records you can purchase. Brick walls, stool seating and red, neon velvet room signs inside. I'm unsure if the host/waitress was busy, but she did appear a little cold when we asked for seats. We almost left because it felt unwelcoming but our tired bodies forced us to sit. At the end of the dinner, she warmed up but I was looking for her a few times to order an additional app/ pepper condiments. Chalking it up to she was wearing too many hats because I couldn't even find her when I went to the bathroom. Now for the food- don't get the flatbread unless you love love love cheese. I barely tasted the meat toppings and I could tell the balsamic vinaigrette on it was a nice idea to balance out the salty cheese but it was overpowered. Do get the wings and burger. My friends raved about their meals. I tried to give the food another chance by ordering the dumplings but once again - meh. The flavor was off and needed a different sauce. Cocktails were just ok again.

    Great service, drinks perfect unique and delish ! Got dropped off , walking the quaint town of Beacon saw "vinyl" + drinks just had to stop in

    Took a day trip to Beacon and stumbled upon this cute bar that is also a record shop. It's a pretty big bar that has two floors. The vinyl shop and bar are on the first floor and downstairs they have arcade games and board games. Limited cocktail menu with drinks around $15 each. I don't remember if they have a food menu or not. If I'm in the area I'd definitely stop here again!

    Korean tacos
    Jes O.

    First time at this location, went Sunday afternoon and it wasn't crowded. The bissel bro beer was tasty if you like IPA'S. Korean nachos were delicious with a perfect kick! I could have honestly ate it myself and not shared it lol. Pretzel bites were nice and soft paired with a nice yellow cheese warm dipping sauce. My mother in law tried the Mr. Fancy pants drink and loved it. The place looked aesthetically nice with plenty of cool wall art.

    Manhattan
    Alex C.

    Let me just start by saying the service here was fantastic. Me and my friends just came last Friday night for evening cocktails. Nothing on the drink menu really called to me so I just ordered a Manhattan. To be honest it was the worst Manhattan I'd ever tasted. Not sure how you could mess it up when it's just three ingredients. Long story short, sent it back and asked for them to try remaking it. The drink in the picture is the replacement Manhattan they brought me. Tasted just as watery and bad...looked like a light beer. Found our kind waitress again and she asked how it was, I said honestly I can't drink it and she asked if she could get me something else. I said anything whiskey based would be good. The drink she brought me was far better, but overly sweet. Won't be coming back here...sad for a place that has such potential and great service. I had also heard good things from friends...maybe it was just an off night for the bartender.

Friendly waitress answered our menu questions and took our order quickly. We had the bar pretzel, grilled chicken sandwich, the mushroom burger and Chocolate Chip Lava cake. Both exceeded our expectations. Chicken sandwich had two juicy, seasoned pieces of chicken with toppings. Salad was fresh and house dressing was great. The mushroom burger was juicy and flavorful. The lava cookie cake lacked the lava typically expected but was nonetheless delicious, definitely would order again. There were two seating areas and a large bar that accommodated everyone well. Noise level was good, restroom was spacious and clean. Definitely going back when I'm town!!!!

We were greeted warmly and seated promptly and ordered drinks immediately. Being a Prince fan, I ordered a "Nothing Compares" cocktail which was great. My smashburger was also very good. My dining mates enjoyed their food and even more so the engaging banter with our amazing waitress. She sold us on the brownie cheesecake for dessert, but the three of us couldn't finish it even though it was delicious. We were so full! Overall, I enjoyed this and look forward to returning. Great food, efficient and engaging service at reasonable prices make this a hit in my book.

First, the bartender was so lovely! I don't drink so I was truly impressed with the number of non-alcoholic beverage options available. I initially ordered a non-alcoholic drink, but then I saw the Shark Attack Mocktail and asked if I could switch to that. Thankfully I caught her right before she started making the first drink! The mocktail was sooo cute and actually really tasty! (See photo I included). I loved the theme of it, especially as summertime is officially here. Now let's talk about the arcade part of this place! The machines take quarters, so use the ones you have in your pocket! No quarters? No problem! They have a machine that will give you them, however it only accepts $1 and $5 bills. No cash? Also not a problem! They have an ATM on site. They really did think of everything, here! Most of the games are old skool, such as Pac-Man, Pinball, Dance Dance Revolution, etc. They also have a claw machine, however it's rigged so don't waste your time or quarters on it (which is exactly what I did, hahah!). Pac-Man is two players and my husband and I had a lot of fun with that one! I also LOVED Dance Dance Revolution (located in the far left corner in the back, behind the bar area) and wish I had found it before I wasted most of our quarters. Most of the games take anywhere from $0.50 to $1 to play, so keep that in mind. The patio is very large and much quieter compared to inside. I loved the atmosphere with all the string lights! They also have two little seating areas that are gated (which kind of look like adult playhouses?) which I think would be an awesome spot to chill with your friends + your dog. No fear of your pup running off! Regarding food: they do have a small menu, however it's mostly snack items like mozzarella sticks, a giant pretzel, things to that nature. What's cool, though, is that they offer vegan chicken nuggets!! Not a lot of bars have these, so it's definitely worth noting. 11/10 recommend that you stop in here while visiting Beacon! We absolutely loved it and would come back in a heartbeat!
